Steps to check Grace Period in UAE after visa cancellation
A visa is an official document that is required for you to enter and stay in a foreign country, and the UAE is no exception.
Sometimes, your visa can be canceled for various reasons, and then there is a time period called the grace period that is given to either leave the country or reapply for the visa. The UAE also has a system to grant Grace Period as well.
Staying beyond your Grace Period may lead to penalties and a plethora of legal problems. Hence, it is a must to know about the time in your Grace Period.
